    People are likely watching the Marvel Shang-Chi trailer, or the Jake Paul fight, or Drag Race like us WITH THE MUNCHIES THESE DAYS! I have been thinking about the neurophysiology of quitting weed since being stuck at home, it's more of a habit. It turns out the brain changes a lot with weed, also there physiological symptoms I didn't know before, and all the science is not cutting edge. This video goes through the scientific evidence of how your body changes after consuming weed.

    I started smoking Marijuana since my teenage. Got addicted to cocaine for over 23 years. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

      Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.

      Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.

    I'm on my last joint, it's midnight and I'm going to sleep next. I'll make a small summary:
    I'm 22 years old, I've been smoking for 2/3 years, basically every day. I started smoking when I was heartbroken, I feel like my life has become numb, cloudy, I think I'm addicted, when I smoke I like the effects but deep down i know it's pulling me down, I wanted to avoid my emotions and reserved myself, I became antisocial. I want to quit because i want to change my life! I have goals that I want to achieve!
    I need a wake up call.
    I would appreciate it if you like :)

    Been smoking heavily for around 7 years or so non-stop. Totally clean for 8 months now. And this is literally the BEST decision that I've ever made in my entire life. You have no idea how good I feel. I feel like Superman compared to how I felt like a year ago. It's worth a try. Trust me. You don't need weed or any other substances to feel good. Quit it now and feel the real life. It's difficult and tough, but it's worth it.

      @sleezykrew5835 Hey there, fam! Im glad you made this decision and i strongly encourage you to keep going. You've come a long way, and you've been strong. So strong that you decided to live differently among all the people that have been victims of addiction for almost all their lives. Remember why you started this path from the beginning and never let yourself go back because you decided to change, and if you go back, you've only lied to yourself. As soon as i stopped smoking, I started to feel like you mentioned, but i did these things, and it really helped my symptoms fade away :
      1. going to the gym regularly and staying disciplined [very important because you need to help your body detox faster to feel less symptoms]
      2. Take regular hot showers every day and do some stretching exercises under the shower
      3. Try to stay hydrated and use plenty of nutritional and clear drinks like water , natural fruit juice, and...
      4. Use a lot of vitamins. You can eat plenty of fruits or get daily vitamin pills or even vitamin ampoules every 2 weeks (it's better to talk to a dr before doing so)
      I've heard cranberry tea or juice is good
      You have to Replenish lost potassium and vitamins because of excessive sweating with : melons bananas, citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes ...
      5. Avoide Fat, caffeine and alcohol as much as possible
      6. a glass of warm milk before bedtime works for insomnia
      7. Exercise! Exercise! Exercise!
      8. Try to avoide anything related to weed such as smoker friends, social media pages and especially places that you used to smoke in. Avoide them all for a while. And instead get to know and hangout with new and specially healthy people. Go to new places and do new things. Go on vacations and experience new things.
      9. Take meditation and working out seriously as it helps with your mentality
      10. Alternatively, consulting a specialist like a psychologist or a therapist could be beneficial and worthwhile

    I literally am going through this now. I don't think I'd ever gone more than 24 hours in the last 15 years without THC. I would get insane dreams just by cutting back. I just felt I needed to see what life was like without it. I'm at the point where I go several days at a time without any at all, and I feel so much better. Every morning I feel so comfortable and rested which I literally NEVER felt in over a decade. The intense disturbing dreams no longer happen and I stopped sweating profusely, but man those are some awful symptoms. One thing that helped a lot was exercise. Keeping myself exhausted from exercise really helped keep the cravings down.

      @@veronicabool2350 Yes that's what happens at first, dreams are subdued. But once your body gets accustomed to daily consumption for over a decade it compensates and it's very unpleasant. Trust me. Just keep doing it in moderation and you'll be ok. I can consume small amounts now without issue, it was the 10+ times a day for 15 or so years that ended up really causing me problems. It took me a while to figure out what it was because I assumed it couldn't be the weed.

    My 2nd video of this site, and again I am very impressed with the content being presented. As a lifelong user of over 40 years, I am noticing changes in the way cannabis is affecting my body. I certainly can recognize from personal experience exactly what happens when I try to quit. Which I have for various reasons over the years. I actually didn’t have any issues with stopping for several periods of time over the decades that I have used weed. Yet, since legalization here in Michigan, being retired and no reason to limit my usage, I have smoked daily for over 3 years now. Also, a huge difference between then and now is the potency of the weed produced today. When I started smoking in the mid seventies, an oz would come from Mexico and have a significant amount of seeds that we would gleefully throw along the highways of the Great Lake State.
    Anyway, I am down to the last bowl before I attempt to make a break from smoking for a bit. The part about crazy dreams once the cannabis starts leaving the body is absolutely true, but I always found recalling my dreams again as a very positive thing. It’s like a veil being lifted. Again, thanks for the fabulous video, you are my kind of guy. 🍻🌈

My anxiety has essentially vanished now that I don’t smoke. I convinced myself that weed was the only thing that helped my anxiety when in reality smoking was perpetuating it. The first week or so was the hardest part of stopping but after that I started to level out and I have no desire to go back. I thought I was going to smoke until the day I died.

Sorry if it seems scary, but coming from experience, if you’re a chronic smoker that’s smoking daily (or like I was, losing count of how many times a day I would toke) you brain/body is dependent on weed in order to properly function and feel normal. The easiest way to know if you have any level of dependence is if you develop a tolerance and have to smoke more and more to get your desired high. Dependence happens because the brain stops producing its own endocannabinoid neurotransmitters because it receives them from weed. Your endocannabinoid neurotransmitters send signals through your body via nerve cells and help with various bodily functions.

    I can confirm that quitting weed was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, I know it sounds funny but the withdrawals were awful and even made me depressed for a while. I couldn’t eat without the feeling of throwing up after two bites of food. I grew accustomed to smoking weed 3 to 4 time a day 7 days a week and it became apart of my life for years. I couldn’t get high off of weed anymore and heavily using wax concentrates. I tried quitting many times but failed constantly until my wife gave birth to my first son and i made her a promise to stop because I didn’t want my son to see me like this in the future. Now in 3 months sober and I can say it was tough but worth it and I don’t see myself going back. I can finally eat normal again and find happiness in simple things like I did when I was a kid. It’s okay for people to use weed but it isn’t when you abuse it.

      It can be tough, but if you quit, do it gradually. If you your weed is almost gone, and you don't know if you will be able to get some soon, use the last of it sparingly, gradually decreasing the amount you use and increase the time between use. Weaning and consistency is the key to quitting an addiction. Also, remember, moderation. You don't have to be high all day to enjoy it.

    Thank you!! I’m on day 16 🎉I gotta say the thing that helped me immensely was that I was on a road trip when I decided to stop smoking. If I’m honest I didn’t actually decide on that it just sort of happened. I was distracted, busy and tired from my adventurous days. The first few nights were definitely testing when it came to sleeping, I was overheating and restless. I’ve been smoking basically everyday since I was about 13, now 25 …. My poor brain. So far I haven’t actually craved it at all! Heck yeah! It’s not so much that I care about never smoking again, I just want to simmer down, not rely on it, be able to handle my emotions without the substance. Many thanks for explaining all this!

I don’t feel as groggy, moody, anxious, or have respiratory issues as I once did when I would smoke every day. I definitely do get cravings still, especially when I smell it nearby, but I’ve come so far that I would hate to break my sobriety so soon.

    For the first time in 5 years, I have been weed-free for 20 days straight. It got to a point where I wasn't getting high no matter how much I smoked and my dependence on it led me to forget about all the other important things in my life. The first week was hard, especially the headaches and lack of dopamine. I did really enjoy the dreams though, some of them felt real.
    I don't think I'll stop forever, but I want to only use it in social settings. It was making me hate myself because it became the escape I desperately craved. More power to you if it helps you but for a lot of people, this is another addiction that can lead you to not prioritizing yourself, your physical and mental health.

So for those who've quit and don't feel like "themselves" after 28 days. Don't worry, it's a slow process of healing and you'll get there. Stay strong.

    I smoked for about 7 years and quit cold turkey for 3 months just cause I wanted to see how I'd feel. I honestly felt amazing the only side effects I really noticed was insomnia and just kinda craving it a little In general. After about 2 weeks I felt super clear headed noticed my memory got better. I started smoking again after 3 months and it felt like the first time I smoked weed it was also a great experience. Try to at least take tolerance breaks its good for you and makes the high feel so much better.

I think it's best to keep some sort of balance, even with the healthier things, to make sure they don't turn into toxic habits! ☺️

      It’s not physically addicting however it is psychologically addicting. Most people are not smart enough to understand the difference and those who spout it’s not addictive don’t say the difference.
      One, your body itself reacts to lack of it and the other your mind reminds you of how that felt so you’d feel compelled to do it again. Anything can indeed be addictive but this is not something that causes physical addictions. It’s very simple and easy to understand.

By the end of the vacation I lost the urge and feeling the need to smoke all together. Now I only smoke on occasion/ when I want to. Maybe once a week, maybe less.

    First of all - love this guy. I've been a big time before-the-movie (or sitting down to watch tv smoker) for years. I was a casual social toker in my 20s, but I've been a daily user for about 14 years now. The best thing about weed is that bad action movies are enjoyable, any meal you eat is the greatest meal you've ever eaten (even if it's just sardines on toast), and boring situations become endurable. I am currently 11 days sans weed -- trying to lose my pandemic weight and every time over the past decade that I've lost big chunks of weight, I always did it by eating healthy, exercising, and cutting back on alcohol -- but I still got high. Now that I'm in my 40s, my body just wants to hang on to the Buddha belly, so I decided to quit weed as part of my diet regimen this time around and see what happens. HOLY SMOKES (pun intended) - the difference is pretty bonkers. The energy thing is legit - It feels like I'm on speed and it's totally unnerving, I have a hard time keeping still - and forget trying to watch a movie. But the worst part, as documented, are the sleep problems. I just cannot sleep and melatonin only helps with drifting off, but staying asleep? NOPE. Being able to lay in bed and TRY to sleep? Can only do it for about 6 hours. It sucks. But the TOTAL OPPOSITE FOR ME it seems from reading the comments here is that I have always been an insane dreamer. Long amazing dreams with awesome plotlines. Loved sleeping because my dreams were magical. But in the 11 days I've been weed-free, I have NOT DREAMED ONCE. And the creative side of my brain is just non-existent. I'm a super prolific writer, new ideas every day, but there's just nothing there right now. Blank slate. Maybe that will change after 28 days, but My Dreams and creativity are NOT something I'm willing to lose. Anyone else have similar issues? I'm curious about this as honestly, I would kill for the insane dreams people are unhappy about.

    On day 25, was going to make it a 28-day goal and decided to extend it a week to 35 days aka 5 weeks total. I'm currently reading "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", and though I have had great emotional insight into myself through cannabis, I have also used it in the past to attempt(and fail) to numb emotional pains. I realized that though it takes more effort, it is possible to take down those mental walls within yourself while being sober, and part of life is mastery of the mind. Especially if you want to work on and live your purpose in life. I am capable of going out sober, watching a movie, enjoying a task, etc. I do not desire to be controlled by some external substance.
    That being said I do enjoy the dry herb vaporization of cannabis, and in the future see myself being okay with consuming cannabis after a well-earned life achievement, for a special occasion, or maybe some other variable. I'm okay with myself having a reason to enjoy cannabis once a month, no more than twice, regardless of the circumstances. You have to find what is acceptable for you.

I am hyper and all over the place thanks to adhd, or bummed out and don't feel a reason to try anymore, so smoking in the morning and in the evening really helps slow things down to a normal pace.

      @@benben6054 ayo bro, you can do it. Smoking fucks the shit out of your lungs, itll be worth it. I'd suggest taking days off work and just hunkering down for like 1-2 weeks, get lots of junk food, and get rid of ALL of the cigarettes/whatever else u do out of your house and burn them. After that, just sit there and let it happen, get lots of rest, eat, try excercises, etc. You can do it.

      @@benben6054 I've been addicted to nicotine for 9 years, cannabis for 5 years. I quit a month ago, enduring depression, apathy, loss of appetitte, loss of the will to live, wanting to live my life. Granted I have other issues, but that has been the cataclyst. But enduring this is worth the fight, not being addicted to anything anymore. Live life with less harm to myself, let my lungs breathe and heal.

    I’m 80+ and smoked weed since I was a teenager. For the past 20 years I’ve grown my own. I smoked on a daily basis, occasionally stopping for a few days or a week and never noticing any withdrawal symptoms. It’s been a full year now since I last smoked. It seems that I just no longer have any desire to. I never noticed any withdrawal symptoms nor was quitting a struggle. The one thing I do notice is that I remember my dreams now much more vividly. I still have a gallon jar of buds from my last grow and may one day fire up again. It seems as individuals we all have different metabolisms and psyches thus different reactions and ways of coping.

    Very interesting episode.
    I am 57 years old, and up until about 4 years ago I had never used any cannabis in any form. As a boy growing up in the 70s, it was very common, however I found that I really did not like the smell of it. I then went to military college, was in the army, then went on to a career in federal law enforcement, so trying cannabis was not worth the risk of losing a very good paying job
    However, i was diagnosed with a very rare slow growing tumor in my neck, which grows about a millimeter or 2 a year and is growing inwards, pressing on my brain stem and spinal cord. Needless to say the pain can be extremely intense, and my doctors prescribed very large doses of opioids. Basically this turned me into a zombie, and I decided to stop taking them, along with the anxiety meds. I began learning different, non addicting, and non life altering ways to at least be able to function through the pain. Cannabis edibles became a way to help, especially when it came to getting sleep. (No matter which way I lay my head, I am putting pressure on the tumor and after about an hour, I would be awakened by excruciating head pain) Enter cannabis, I use it at night to help me sleep, and I remember how grateful I was the first night I tried it. I slept for 7 hours straight, something I hadn't done in years. Using it at night and other pain control techniques during the day, I have regained a measure of living again. I have also learned that I need to take a few days off to reset my system from building up tolerance, or using the cannabis tincture/infusion every other day.
    Compared to opioids and other pharmaceuticals, when I use cannabis I find that I wake up every morning feeling refreshed and with energy to face the day. I never have that hangover feeling that the prescription meds gave me. I still have pain, but it is now manageable.
    The tumor will grow, the pain will get worse, and one day it will kill me, but in the interim, using cannabis medically has been a gods send.
    And the nice warm, tingling buzz is what I call my bonus, lol.

      @@neverendingweedh1784 apparently it was growing for some time. Because of it's placement it was hard to detect on scans. I kept getting really bad head pain, but the scans of my head were just a bit too high, and so the tumor wasn't discovered for about 2 years after I first started getting the headaches. It wasnt until the head pain worsened and i began loosing feeling and use of my left side that a new scan finally found it.
      I am truly fortunate it is not cancerous, and that in only grows by about 1 or so millimeters a year. But eventually it will get so big and rupture or something.
      I have become a very strong advocate of cannabis for medical treatment, especially for older people. I try and help them work through their pre-existing prejudices against it. When it's used properly it's very helpful for so many illnesses. And the little buzz is an added bonus. Lol. And it's way better than opioids.
